Application flied October 2%;1918. Serial No. 259,510.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FERNAND CAILLETEAU', a citizen of the United States, residing at Atlanta, in the county 'of Fulton and State of Georgia, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Adjustable Safety- Razors; and I do hereby declare the following to be a it'ull, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters and figures of lreference marked thereon, which form a part of this speciiication. i

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in adjusting means for holding double edged razors in diderent positions to regulate the cutting of a blade, and comprising a simple and eiiicient device of this nature which will be hereinafter fully I described, shown in the accompanying drawings and then specifically defined in the appended claims.

I illustrate my invention in the accompanying drawings which, with the letters of reference marked thereon form a part of this application and in which:

Figure 1 is a central sectional view through the device, and

Fig. 2 is an end view.

Reference now being had to the details of the drawings by letter:

A designates a -handle having a hole B in one end, the Wall of which is threaded to receive the threaded end of the stem C having a plate D at one end adapted to hold a razor blade E in position. A member F, having a spherical-shaped lower end H, is provided with a recess N in its top, and has a tapering slot U formed therein, the walls of which, designated by letter I, form fulcrums whereby the member F may be held in different positions relative to one cutting-edge or the other of the blade, it being noted that the blade has opposite cutting edges. A tubular member R has the circumference of the lower portion thereof threaded as at R and which is engaged b v the interior threads upon the nut T, which latter has a concave/d socket portion for the reception of the spherical end II. The upper portion of the tubular member has wings l I curved and projecting in opposite directions, adapted to Irictionally engage the bottom of theslot N, and upon the upper convexed portions of said Wings the knife is adapted tov rest, as shown, being held in place by lugs L passing through apertures in the blade. f

In adjusting the parts, when it is desired to hold the knife against the curved top of the member F, it may be done by turning the handle A and drawing theistem C down into the hole B which will cause the wings of the end D to spring the blade down against the conveXed top of the member F. When the nut I is loose to permit the member F to be tilted in the socketportion of the nut, it may be heldin did'erent adjusted positions, and when the nut is tied the parts may be held adjusted, as will be readily understood. l

By this adjustable mechanism, it will be noted that the operation of the razor in getting a close cut or otherwise may be regulated and either edge of the blade held in different adjusted positions.

What I claim to be new is:

1. An adjustable safety razor, comprisin a handle having a threaded hole in one en a stem with a threaded circumference engaging said hole, said stein having a knife engaging head, a tubular member circumferentially threaded and through which said stem passes and adapted to bear against the end of the handle, said tubular member having curved wings at its upper end on which the razor .blade is adapted to rest and against which it is frictionally held upon the head of said stem, an adjustable member having serrated edges and provided with a spherical-shaped end and which is slotted for the reception of said tubular member, and means for holding said slotted member in different adj usted positions.

2. An adjustable safety razor, comprisin a handle having a threaded hole in one en a stem with a threaded circumference engaging said hole, said stem having a knife engaging head, a tubular member circumferentially threaded and through which said stem passes and adapted to bear against the end of the handle, said tubular member having lcurved wings at its upper end on which the razor blade is adapted to rest and against which it is frictionally held upon the head of said stem, an adjustable member having serrated edges and provided with a spherical-shaped end and which is slotted for the reception of said tubular member, a I

. oppositely disposed fulerum ber with a hole therein having threaded connection With the threads upon said member and in which nut the spherical end of said slotted member has a bearing.

3. An adjustable safety razor, comprisin a handle with a threaded hole in one en a stem which is ciroumferentially threaded engaging said hole and having a curved blade at its upper end, a tubular member through which said stem passes, provided with curved Wings, a slotted member having points in the Walls thereof and recessed in 1ts upper end to receive said Wings, upon which a knife is adapted to rest, the lower end of the slotted member being spherical-shaped, a socket nut adjustably mounted on the threaded circumference of said tubular member and in which nut the spherical end of said member has a bearing.

In testimonyT whereof I hereunto aiX my signature in presence of two Witnesses.
